The fat classmate is named Mao Haoyang. He decided to study medicine because of a family genetic disease. However, on the first day of reporting to the university, he had a conflict with someone, and that person turned out to be his savior. Such luck is really unparalleled.
Mao Haoyang was obviously feeling embarrassed about the conflict between him and Ruan Xi before. He had to apologize after saying a few words. His words, which were already fragmented due to nervousness, became even more fragmented. Ruan Xi was a little amused when he heard it.
"Okay, okay, I know you didn't mean it. No need to keep apologizing. Does your family have a genetic disease? Does it come from your father or mother? Is it the same for every generation? Are there any unexpected cases?"
In comparison, Ruan Xi was more interested in the genetic disease in Mao Haoyang's family and immediately asked about it.
"It's on my father's side, and every generation is like this. Although the attacks are sometimes very serious, they are not fatal. Basically, everyone can live to be a hundred years old. However, the older they get, the worse their physical condition becomes, and the more difficult it becomes. I watched my grandfather pass away with my own eyes. During his last period, he was in so much pain that his facial features were distorted, and nothing could relieve his pain..." At that point, even suicide was impossible.
"Have you done a detailed examination? Can you show me the examination report?" Ruan Xi would not be easily infected by his patients' emotions. As a doctor, even if he sympathized with the patients, he must always keep a calm and rational mind. Otherwise, the diagnosis might not be rigorous, which would be the greatest irresponsibility to the patients and himself.
"Yes, I have the medical examination reports of my father, my grandfather, and my uncle here. I'll send them to you..." Mao Haoyang was a little pessimistic the moment before, but the next moment, Ruan Xi aroused new hope in him.
From childhood to adulthood, he had never experienced a situation where he was cured so easily. He didn't know why, but when he looked at Ruan Xi now, it was like looking at his own hope of recovery. He didn't want to give up no matter what. Not only did he not want to give up, his father and uncle also didn't want to give up.
Mao Haoyang stared at Ruan Xi intently, while Ruan Xi, on the other hand, looked intently at the three examination reports Mao Haoyang passed to him. Judging from the data, Mao Haoyang's family's genetic disease was indeed a neurological disease. However, Ruan Xi felt that the complexity reflected by the data was far inferior to the actual complexity of the disease. Finally, Ruan Xi came to a conclusion - this genetic disease can be cured, and the most suitable treatment method is acupuncture. However, compared with modern medical standards, this treatment method may be a relatively long process, and the specific time depends on the individual's physical condition.
Ruan Xi fell into deep thought and had even drawn up a preliminary treatment plan for Mao Haoyang in his mind. Of course, he did not ignore Mao Haoyang's own wishes, or even the wishes of his family.
"If I say that I can cure your disease, but my treatment method is something you have never heard of before, are you willing to take the risk?" Ruan Xi spoke the truth without any intention of hiding anything. There was not even a trace of guilt in her eyes when she looked at Mao Zhiyang.
"Can you really cure my illness? Is the method you mentioned the same method you used to save me before? Use that needle to prick me? To be honest, after you pricked me with the needle, I felt my head was more relaxed than ever before. After I was sent to the hospital, I even accidentally fell asleep during the examination. This is simply incredible! You know, I often suffer from insomnia, and poor sleep is the norm..." When Mao Haoyang talked about his sleep quality, almost his entire face wrinkled, and the pain was visible to the naked eye. No wonder his dark circles were so heavy.
I'm prone to irritability due to a genetic disease, and I've been having trouble sleeping for a long time, so won't I continue to be irritable?
"Well, it should be fine, but you have to be mentally prepared. The treatment process will not be as easy as when I rescued you today. It will become more and more painful, and in the end it will even hurt so much that you want to pull your head off. Are you willing to do that?" Ruan Xi said bluntly, and Mao Haoyang also acted bluntly. His chubby face immediately turned pale, and with those dark circles under his eyes, it was really... indescribably funny.
"I do! I do! I want to cure my genetic disease and live a normal life... I don't want my child to get this disease..." Mao Haoyang almost murmured his wish, his eyes red, but his tone was unusually firm.
"I'm willing to treat you! As long as, as long as you don't mind me being troublesome, I'll cooperate with whatever you ask me to do..." Mao Haoyang repeatedly expressed his position. Ruan Xi only sighed and emphasized again: "I've never seen a case like yours before. This is my first time treating you. I'm crossing the river by feeling the stones. To be frank, this is a process of experimentation, and there may be some detours..."
Ruan Xi didn't want to drag it out like this and wanted to finish what he wanted to say at once, but Mao Haoyang was eager to express his opinion again and again, as if he was afraid that he would change his mind halfway, so he had to split his speech into several paragraphs before he could finish it, which made him feel a little amused and helpless.
"No problem! I'm willing to do anything!" Perhaps because he was too excited, Mao Haoyang almost shouted these words. Ruan Xi felt that the door of the dormitory might not be able to be blocked.
Sure enough, there was a knock on their dormitory door soon. It was the classmate next door. As soon as the door opened, he peeked in. Seeing that Ruan Xi and Mao Haoyang were fine, he felt relieved and asked, rubbing his nose, "Don't quarrel, talk it out. Everything will be fine once the misunderstanding is resolved. We will live in the same dormitory from now on."
This classmate was obviously a kind-hearted person. He persuaded the two of them for a while before returning to his dormitory. However, it seemed as if Ruan Xizhen and Mao Haoyang had had a quarrel.
Ruan Xi laughed helplessly, closed the door, and sat back next to Mao Haoyang. This time, she did not give him the chance to interrupt her, and spoke all her words in one breath like a machine gun.
"That's all. If you agree, I'll start treatment tonight. Once I cure you, you can convince your family to accept my treatment as well." Treating just one difficult and complicated disease is not enough. Of course, the more the better. This way, he can collect enough clinical treatment data to draw the most authoritative conclusions.
"Okay! Treat it right away! Should I lie on the bed? Do I need acupuncture on my head?" Mao Haoyang was a little excited for a moment, but he was not afraid at all. When he saw Ruan Xi nod, he lay down on the bed directly. The way he lay flat and let others poke him was inexplicably funny.
"Don't worry, I still have to make some preparations... Hey, you don't have to get up, just lie down and rest, don't think about things, empty your brain, it would be best if you can fall asleep." As Ruan Xi spoke, he got up and began to make preparations. In fact, there was nothing to prepare, just a set of silver needles. What Ruan Xi really wanted to prepare was something that could allow Mao Haoyang to sleep peacefully.
What is it? Of course it's medicine powder.
Ruan Xi just took advantage of the moment when Mao Haoyang kept mumbling and sprinkled a handful of medicine powder on him. The effect was almost immediate. Mao Haoyang fell asleep and couldn't wake up even if he pinched his nose.
"It seems that the effect of this medicine is quite good." Ruan Xi was very satisfied with the effect of the sleeping powder. He put away the remaining powder, washed his hands, walked to Mao Haoyang's bed and sat down, and began to insert needles into Mao Haoyang's head in an orderly manner.
The number of silver needles injected was more than twice the number when he was rescued in the morning. Mao Haoyang became a baby with many threads.
After the last silver needle was accurately inserted into the acupoint, Ruan Xi withdrew his hand and waited quietly for the changes in Mao Haoyang's body.
A few seconds later, Mao Haoyang, who was already fast asleep on the bed, suddenly began to twitch slightly uncontrollably. This was clearly the onset of his genetic disease. Normally, Mao Haoyang's facial features would be distorted uncontrollably during the onset of the disease. Even after the onset of the disease, his facial features would return to normal, but anyone who had seen that scene once would never forget it.
Ruan Xi's first treatment was more of an activation process than a treatment. He wanted to test whether the genetic disease in Mao Haoyang's family really came solely from his father's family.
The test results showed that this genetic disease was much more complicated than he had imagined, and he could not determine where the catalytic gene from his mother's family came from. He needed more information to support his decision.
So, when Mao Haoyang finally woke up, he met Ruan Xi's expectant eyes. Before he could recover from his shock, he subconsciously asked, "Ruan Xi, do you want me to do anything else? As long as I can do it, I will do it!"
Compared to Ruan Xi treating him and being confident of a cure, running errands is no problem at all!
"That's great. I want information on your great-grandparents' generation, both sides. I suspect there's also information on your mother's side, but you just haven't discovered it."
"Great-grandmother? Are you saying that the genetic disease in our family is influenced by both the father's and mother's families?" I used to think that at least my mother was healthy, but now, maybe the whole boat will have to be relocated. There's simply no way to reason with this.
"It's possible." He had never personally taken the patient's pulse, and he had never even met Mao Haoyang's parents. The basis for his judgment was limited, and of course he couldn't make any firm predictions. People always make progress through practice.
"Okay, I'll ask my father, he should be able to get it." Mao Haoyang was focused on curing the disease and didn't care about anything else, but Ruan Xi had to care.
"How are you feeling? Any headache?"
Mao Haoyang subconsciously shook his head and said it didn't hurt. Then, after he finished speaking, he realized what Ruan Xi had just asked and quickly said, "It does hurt a little, but this kind of pain is bearable and not very strong."
It's not very strong, but it's still a little strong. The pain must not be as mild as he said. However, he may have been accustomed to such pain in his daily life, so he can face it so calmly.
"This is just the beginning. The pain will intensify tonight. You'd better go to bed early. The pain will develop until the second half of the night. But you don't have classes tomorrow, so you can sleep in." After Ruan Xi finished giving the instructions, he went into the bathroom to take a shower.
Mao Haoyang didn't care much about it. He was used to the pain. As for sleeping in... that was absolutely a luxury for him. No matter how short the sleep was, once he woke up, he would not be able to fall asleep again.
However, when Mao Haoyang experienced several hours of increasing pain and finally fell into a drowsy sleep, his mind was full of admiration for Ruan Xi.
It’s amazing!
